This is a list of episodes and media based on the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Episodes[]

Main article: Episode:Index

Each episode has both a Japanese title (shown at the beginning of each episode) and an English title (displayed in the mid-episode eyecatches). Like the title Neon Genesis Evangelion, the English episode titles were created by GAINAX, not the show's English-language dub producer, ADV Films. However, ADV's subtitles provided English translations for the Japanese titles.

Some of the Japanese episode titles were also used as the titles of volumes of the manga by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. These include episode 1 (book 1), episode 8 (book 4), episode 17 (book 6), episode 19 (book 7) and episode 23 (book 10).

  • 26'. まごころを, 君に Magokoro wo, kimi ni; A Pure Heart for You (ONE MORE FINAL: I need you.)
  • Death & Rebirth and Revival of Evangelion are artifacts of the series' release history. Death & Rebirth consists of two halves: "Death", which is a clip show summarizing the TV series, and then "Rebirth" which is the unfinished first two thirds of The End of Evangelion. Revival of Evangelion is simply "Death" with the full version of The End of Evangelion attached to it, replacing "Rebirth".
  • 1 The English dub of Death & Rebirth, when released on DVD, contained the edit of "Death", "DEATH(TRUE)²"; Revival of Evangelion was not officially released in English-speaking territories in any Evangelion collection (or on its own) due to the rights to the Evangelion movies belonging to a different distributor than the TV series, unlike in Japan; in the United States, the rights to the TV series belonged to ADV Films (now AEsir Holdings) and the rights to the films to Manga Entertainment.

THE END OF EVANGELION[]

Main article: THE END OF EVANGELION (pamphlet)

The End of Evangelion theatrical pamphlet (nicknamed the "Red Cross Book" by overseas fans) was a limited edition supplementary booklet distributed in Japanese theaters during The End of Evangelion's initial run. The contents of the book described many areas of the Evangelion storyline that the series left unclear. It is GAINAX-sanctioned, and thus considered canon.

Der Mond and Die Sterne[]

Main article: Der Mond
Main article: Die Sterne

These are artbooks published by Gainax through Kadokawa Shoten. They include various artwork, although only a few are cells from the original animation. The titles are in German and respectively translate to "The Moon" and "The Stars."

Der Mond is dedicated to art by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto and features many renditions of Evangelion characters as well as concept artworks and character designs and notes from Sadamoto about the art. It also features artwork from other Sadamoto projects. Die Sterne has a more broad focus, including a variety of Evangelion themed artwork that appeared in other media or on various products such as model kit boxes or calendars. Many of the images that are not promotional art for the anime are pieces of artwork from other popular Japanese animators and manga artists that were created following the series' success, and other works by Sadamoto (such as Nadia, or Fatal Fury 2).[1] It includes a section of art by Sadamoto and has been rereleased as Die Sterne Ver. 2.0.

After attempting to regain his memory by sparring with Asuka in Unit-02, he must defeat the Angel.
